Monsters Fall Behind Early, Lose To Chicago 4-1

The Cleveland Monsters looked to find their groove as they played in Chicago on Sunday afternoon. The Monsters were on a two-game losing streak heading into the game today.

The Monsters started off on a bad note, going down 1-0 after Magnus Paajarvi scored at the 4:31 mark of the first period. At the 10:35 mark, the Chicago Wolves took a 2-0 lead after Brad Hunt scored. T.J. Tynan made it a 2-1 deficit going into the locker room, scoring at the 17:57 mark.

Cleveland and Chicago exchanged goals in the second period, as Markus Hannikainen and Bryce Gervais scored within the first eight minutes of the period. The one good thing for the Monsters is Hannikainen is starting to heat up. After a very even period, Cleveland went into the break down 3-2.

From there, the Wolves put one more on the board from Chris Butler at the 15:25 mark of the third period to make it a 4-2 victory. The Monsters are 3-5, losing three in a row. They play Manitoba on Thursday, as they try to snap the three-game losing streak.
